Windows 10: Upgrading from 1709 to 1803 via USB

Upgrading from 1709 to 1803 via USB

I'm running into a bunch of errors when trying to install this update via windows update. I've tried almost everything to get it working. So I was going to try to do the update via booting from my USB stick. I've already burned the ISO to my USB via the media creation tool. I booted to the USB and it then gives the option to "Install". I just want to make sure when I click this it does an upgrade from 1709 to 1803 and does NOT wipe my entire OS.

You CAN boot from the usb stick, but DO NOT choose custom install, choose to keep all your programs and files. But that way is risky too. Opening the Iso file from within windows 1709 is safer and quicker.

Remember, ALWAYS back up your data :) If possible, you should create an image of 1709 with Macrium Reflect before you do anything.

The XPS Viewer was in 1709 before the upgrade to 1803 and it is not in Apps and Features. How do I use Features on Demand with DISM to install the XPS Viewer?
